Spescom MeasureGraph has introduced Fluke's 170 Series digital multimeters. The Fluke 170 Series, which includes the 175, 177 and 179 models, was developed for use in environments that range from relatively 'clean' bench areas to some of the harshest work environments known to man.
The Fluke 170 Series is the most powerful and durable handheld digital multimeter family in its category, claims Fluke. The meters feature an exclusive Fluke-designed true-RMS engine, boast 0,09% accuracy (Models 177 and 179) and deliver 6000 counts of resolution (10 000 counts for frequency measurements) on a bright, backlit display (Model 177 and 179). In addition, the meters provide min/max/avg, autohold and display hold functions for enhanced troubleshooting. The 170 Series also offers high speed, as the display power-up is nearly instantaneous, showing measurement readings quickly. The display update is twice as fast as many other multimeters, claims the company, as it is updated four times per second while the analog bar graph updates not less than 40 times per second.
The meters provide AC and DC voltage ranges up to 1000 V and AC and DC current ranges up to 10 A. The frequency, capacitance and resistance ranges up to 100 kHz, 10 000 µF and 50 MW make the meters suitable for modern applications. Next to this the 179 model offers direct temperature readouts in degrees celsius or fahrenheit.
The innovative battery access door in the Fluke 175, 177 and 179 models allows the user to change the batteries without opening the case and breaking the calibration seal.
The 170-series meters comply with the latest EN61010 Second Edition standard, which addresses the most stringent CAT IV overvoltage requirements. All inputs are designed to withstand an impulse voltage in excess of 8 kV, which complies with CAT IV 600 V (CAT III 1000 V) demands.
